Sleeps five in private cabins and one more in semi-private comfort in a spacious layout with unique teak joinery and graceful, classic style combined with all the modern comforts. Farthest forward is the crew quarters/storage area with one bunk berth and egress through a foredeck hatch as well as access to the forward head and stateroom.

Curved lounge seats too port and starboard provide ample seating. This stateroom has an ensuite private head with bathtub/shower and marble countertop. There is also a large hanging locker, mirrored vanity, and 15” flat panel TV.

A 32” flat screen TV, sound bar, and satellite radio (Sirius XM) with MP3 connections make the salon a perfect entertainment center at the dock or underway. Cabin soles throughout are teak and holly.

Galley and Dinette

The galley is aft of the salon to port, with a compact, professional layout, and sufficient storage to support staffed service as well as self-serve food preparation.The U-shaped dinette to starboard includes a hinged bench seat for larger parties that seats 6 to 8 comfortably.
